Arvind Kejriwal was spying on Enforcement Directorate officials, probe agency sources have claimed. The agency, during the searches at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, recovered a document spanning approximately 150 pages, laden with crucial information concerning the top two ranks within the Enforcement Directorate hierarchy.
According to sources within the agency, the document contains sensitive details pertaining to a Special Director-ranked officer and a Joint Director-ranked officer. Both officials’ identities have been withheld for security reasons. The officials, during the search operation, stumbled upon the document and promptly seized it, documenting the find in the official Panchnama.
The officers were shocked as one of the named officers was particularly present during the search operation. The Joint Director-ranked officer, whose name features in the document, is currently overseeing investigations into an alleged liquor policy scam.
The contents of the document raised concerns of potential fraud, with links to underworld activities and properties allegedly associated with the named officials. Probe agency officials escalated the matter to higher authorities within the agency for further investigation and action.
The recovery of such incriminating documents fuelled speculation regarding the motive behind the alleged intelligence gathering. While the exact nature of the information contained within the document remains undisclosed, its implications have cast a shadow over the integrity and security protocols within the Enforcement Directorate.
The officials are under heightened scrutiny, with efforts underway to ascertain the origins and motives behind the document’s creation.

The ED has refrained from making any official statements regarding the ongoing investigation, citing the sensitive nature of the matter.
Meanwhile, they have also filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, requesting that their side be heard before any decision is made on Arvind Kejriwal’s petition.
This was after the Supreme Court agreed to urgently hear Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi liqour policy case. A special bench comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice MM Sundresh and Justice Bela Dwivedi will hear the arrested Delhi Chief Minister’s plea.
The probe agency is likely to produce evidence against the Delhi Chief Minister for the first time today. They have recorded statements of Goa AAP candidates who alleged that they were paid cash to fight elections.
The probe agency further alleges that this is the same money which was received by AAP in the liquor policy scam from South cartle.
Arvind Kejriwal was on Thursday arrested amid dramatic circumstances after a team of the Enforcement Directorate arrived at his residence to interrogate him and conduct searches in connection with the liquor policy case. He was then taken to the agency’s headquarters and a medical team also arrived at the ED office.
